I had the DF200 but gave it to my oldest daughter this Christmas. Loved it but she needed one for her DX7440 as the flash was not getting those recital photos of my grandkids. She now sends me sharp colorful photos of indoor activities. Love that 7440 color.......OOPS....sorry man I forgot what this thread is all about!! I'm so sorry I brought up the 7440!! NOT!!!!! LOL That is one great little camera. If you can't get it fixed then I'd go for a small upgrade. Don't lose too much zoom and fer Gawd's sake don't lose no MP's!!
